Discover Sauga: Culture, Nature and Routes

When choosing Sauga as a travel destination, specific local topics can help guide your decision: cultural offerings, a flower meadow project created together with the community, and municipal plans for walking and cycling routes. These range from a named cultural group to plans for routes in Sauga and beyond. When looking for accommodation, consider whether local culture, a nature project or the prospect of planned connections is important to your choice.

Cultural and Nature Projects in Sauga

In spring 2023, pilot areas for flower meadows were established in Sauga together with local communities. For travellers who take nature-related topics into account when choosing a place, the community-led approach offers a specific point of interest. The areas represent a local initiative in which the establishment of flower meadows was explicitly set up as a pilot project.

Another project involved setting up a ceramics workshop. To this end, the basement rooms of Jänesselja Kindergarten were renovated and a ceramic kiln was purchased for activities. Sauga Must Maja’s offerings include the women’s ensemble “Nõianeitsid”. The two cultural initiatives differ in form: the ceramics project involved workshop rooms and a kiln, while Sauga Must Maja’s offerings include a women’s ensemble.

Sports Hall and Booking

If sport is part of your travel plans, Sauga võimla sports hall is a specific point of interest: it can be booked online and contactlessly, with access details sent by SMS. If you want to include the hall in your plans, you can take this booking method and type of access into account.

Planned Walking and Cycling Routes

As part of a municipal project running from 2017 to 2020, a 500-metre walking and cycling path was planned along Jänesselja Street in Sauga alevik. It was intended to connect Pärnu linn with the industrial and service businesses, bus stops, youth centre, kindergarten and a shop located in Sauga alevik. The project also aimed to enable safe movement within Sauga alevik and for people from Pärnu and the village of Eametsa.

A separate route project, Allika and Nigula, envisaged a safe connection for pedestrians, cyclists and other users of light transport. It was to run from the residential area of Eametsa through Sauga alevik and over the Sauga jõgi to the village of Nurme. The Jänesselja project concerned a 500-metre path and connections to destinations in Sauga alevik and Pärnu; Allika and Nigula planned a route from Eametsa, across the river, to Nurme.

The two projects therefore offer different ways of understanding the area: one concerns connections to destinations in Sauga alevik and Pärnu, while the other follows the planned route across the Sauga jõgi to Nurme.
